DBZ's Live Action Infromation

There's been hundreds of rumours and what if's but it's finally happening. Some think it's a good thing some think it's bad, but either way everyone are somehow interested in the making of this movie and what's to happen.

In the Year 2002, FOX got hold of the Rights to make a live action version of Dragonball, adapted from the original manga.
A domain was bought by FOX (dragonballz-movie.com) and even though it expired in 2006, they did renew it, possiblt more than once.
In September this year (2007), a budget was set of $100+ to shoot the film.
This movie is part of a group of movies they want to film before the Hollywood strike!
James Wong has been hired to direct (directed Final Destination 1 & 3 and The One) which makes things more promising!
November, this year, more members of the crew have been hired, such as the Cinematographer and the special FX director.

::THE PLOT::

The plot of the movie is said to start just as its supposed to, centered around Goku, Piccolo and friends! Just like in Dragonball. Source
By seeing the first images of filming and reading the comments to go with it, the film will start with Gokuh going to highschool. He rides a bike but then he crashes into a yellow (very nice!!) car!

That's all for now on the plot!
